Three areas of design focus, Design for Service, Design for Social Innovation and Transition Design represent areas in which projects and student research are situated. See more about the program framework on our website. We are looking for applicants with additional expertise in some of the following areas to help us evolve our curricula: > > • Design for service > • Design for social innovation & community-based design initiatives > • Narrative & storytelling > • Design thinking & strategy > • Design studies > • Design for sustainability/eco-design > • User-centered tools & methods > • Design for complex environments (in digital, physical and multi-modal realms) > • Design with and for emerging, multi-media technologies > > Our Ethos > The School takes a transdisciplinary approach to design education and its position within a premier research university provides faculty with an unparalleled opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from diverse disciplines. Faculty at the School of Design believe in teaching through making, are passionate about teaching and interact with students at all levels in our program. We have a highly collaborative culture and faculty frequently ‘team teach’ with colleagues with complementary expertise. We are actively engaged in a conversation about the future and the role that design/designers can play. > > Research > In addition to teaching, tenure-track faculty (as well as doctoral students) are engaged in research that advances professional practice. Research within the College of Fine Arts is defined as activities that lead to the production of new knowledge; to increased problem-solving capabilities including design and analysis; to original critical or historical theory and interpretations; or the production of innovative professional work (practice-based research). Tenure-track faculty are expected to undertake research and regularly publish as partial fulfillment of tenure requirements. > http://design.cmu.edu/facultysearch/ Cameron ----------------------------------------------------------------- PhD-Design mailing list <[log in to unmask]> Discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design Subscribe or Unsubscribe at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/phd-design -----------------------------------------------------------------
